This is actually 2 recipes in one: the first was Leek and Chickpea Soup, which can be found HERE: half of which was then used as a base for this Coconut Chana Dal. more
LEEK AND CHICKPEA SOUP
| October 14, 2011 | Soups |
Another simple soup for you to try. This one was inspired by someone on the Happy Herbivore Facebook page, who mentioned that chickpea flour (which may also be known as gram flour or garbanzo flour) could be used to make a thick and creamy soup base. Serves 4. Ingredients 1 leek, finely sliced 1 tbs… more
SPICY FRIED ONION SOUP
| October 7, 2011 | British, Soups |
Soups can be so simple to make. This one is super-simple: and has only 4 ingredients (+ salt and pepper). INGREDIENTS 4 white onions 2 tsps chilli flavoured olive oil 4 tsps Vecon vegetable stock paste (you can use any vegetable stock paste or even dried stock cubes, if you don’t have Vecon) 2… more
VEGETABLE ROGAN JOSH
| December 13, 2010 | Indian, Main Meal |
A quick meal this evening. Some people are under the impression that food bloggers always cook things from scratch: and we do, often. I enjoy making tortillas and rotis, I enjoy toasting and grinding spices fresh for the meal, I enjoy making pizza bases. But there are times when we take shortcuts: and this is… more
CHEESE SCONES
| December 5, 2010 | British, Side Dishes |
Very quick and easy to make. Ideal as a snack, or served with a main meal instead of bread. Great served with soup. Very versatile These scones are not made with dairy cheese: instead I have used nutritional yeast, which can be bought from most independent health food shops, or online. Nutritional yeast is low… more
MEXICAN BREAKFAST
| November 7, 2010 | Filled under Breakfast, Main Meal, Mexican, Side Dishes |
I’ve called this breakfast: the main reason being that breakfast is generally a rushed affair, and this dish can be made from start to finish in under 10 minutes. However it’s a perfect meal for any time you are in a rush: using mainly store cupboard ingredients like canned beans and jalepeno peppers in brine… more
LENTIL LOAF
| October 31, 2010 | Filled under British, Main Meal |
I just wanted to cook something simple. I couldn’t be bothered to find a recipe for a nut loaf or a veggie meat loaf, so I invented this instead. Hope you like it! Ingredients 1 cup green lentils, washed 1 cup red lentils, washed 1 cup of cooked rice 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves… more
CHICKPEAS IN A SMOKEY TOMATO SAUCE
| October 29, 2010 | Filled under Main Meal, Mediterranean |
For this recipe I used a slightly unusual spice – smoked paprika. If you have never used it before it is a lot different to normal paprika, which has a warm taste – smoked paprika is generally hot as well as smoked. So use with caution! This is a extremely simple recipe and will take… more
SEITAN HOISIN STIR FRY
| October 25, 2010 | Filled under Chinese, Main Meal |
This was my first attempt at making seitan from vital wheat gluten flour – and I was impressed how easy it was, and how well it turned out. In case you don’t know what seitan is, it is a meat substitute, made from wheat flour – the gluten is the chewy bit of the flour… more
COCONUT BISCUITS
| October 19, 2010 | Filled under Cakes and Cookies |
The original recipe, found here, called them coconut cookies – I have renamed them biscuits as they are similar to the biscuits I had in my childhood. To me, cookies are larger and softer inside. These have a dense, chewy texture, due to the coconut. I have veganised the recipe by using soya flour and… more
